Hello all. So my first Marlin, well, lever gun, will be arriving for X-mas. I grew up just a few miles from the No. Haven Marlin factory and always want one but never got around to picking one up. So today I went down to my LGS to pickup a gift card for my dad. While I was there I found a used 336, in 30-30, with a Marlin scope, manufactured in 2003 at the No. Haven factory for $299. It almost walked away while I was texting my wife about it. But I grabbed it as soon as the other guy put it back down. He then gave my a look like what the hell. So it went on hold for me and the wife agreed to buy it for me for X-Mas. It's in really good shape and just needs a little cleaning. No scratches, No dents in the wood. Just a little dirty. I am excited to finally own a 336 and one manufactured in No. Haven none the less. Pics will follow after I pic it up.

I'm sure you will enjoy that rifle, the Marlin 336 is a lot of fun to shoot and the .30 WCF is a great NE woods cartridge. I too almost picked up a 336 this weekend, a local dealer has a 1948 336A in .30-30 in pretty nice shape for $250. If I'd have had the cash on hand I'd have grabbed it and put it right next to my 336 in .35 Rem. You've got the advantage with the .30-30 since ammo is available anywhere ammo is sold and it's about $10 a box cheaper than ammo for my .35 Rem which I need to reload if I want to shoot it.
